We often hear people talk about planning their dream wedding or finding the partner of their dreams. In fact, this is a topic of many reality TV series and a common topic in therapy. In this podcast episode, I'll be talking with pre-marital couples counselor, Mickayla Waldhauser about:

• ways we can prepare ourselves for the relationship of our dreams
• the importance of investing in the relationship, not just the big day
• the challenges of real relationships vs. the idealized ideas we have of relationships

If you're the person who is engaged or still looking for "the one," this episode is for you!

Have you ever felt defeated while trying to achieve your goals? Perhaps you've even determined that making a particular change just isn't in the books for you. Perhaps you've tried to get into an exercise routine, stop biting your nails, or reduce your alcohol intake, and you just haven't had any luck. Today, we've got good news for you!

In this week's episode, Christine Higgins will be introducing you to the stages of behavior change. Understanding them can take out some of the shame that people feel when they fail to successfully make a change. It can also help us understand some of the steps we can take to increase the likelihood of success when we're trying to make a change.

As we approach the end of the year, we hope you'll find this helpful if you're feeling eager to achieve the goals you've set for this year. If you're thinking ahead to the new year, this episode will be great for you too!
